Description
The 270 grit Extra Coarse honers are the most aggressive rods Warthog makes for the V-Sharp Classic I. When a knife has been dropped, chipped on a bone, run through a dishwasher for years or simply never sharpened, a standard hone will take forever. The 270 grit diamond surface removes steel quickly and predictably, cutting a brand-new bevel in a fraction of the strokes and giving you a clean, straight edge to refine.
This is a genuine Warthog Sharpeners part, supplied as a matched pair so that both sides of the V wear evenly and the Classic's fixed sharpening angle stays true. Fitting takes under a minute with no tools beyond a small screwdriver.
Who this grit is for
- Repairing chipped, rolled or badly worn edges
- Re-profiling second-hand, inherited or neglected knives
- Setting a fresh bevel on very hard stainless or high-carbon steel that shrugs off finer grits
- Butchers, hunters, farmers and anyone who sharpens heavily used blades in bulk
How to use it
Fit the 270 grit pair, pull the knife through the V with light, even pressure until you can feel a small burr along the full length of the edge, then switch to a 325, 600 or 1000 grit pair to remove the burr and polish the edge. Used on its own, 270 grit leaves a toothy, aggressive edge that is excellent for cutting rope, cardboard and game, but most users finish with a finer hone for kitchen work.

2. Coarse — 325 Grit
Warthog V-Sharp Classic I Replacement Diamond Honers – Coarse 325 Grit (Pair)
The grit your Classic I was born with.
325 grit Coarse is the standard hone fitted to the V-Sharp Classic I at the factory, and for most people it is the only grit they will ever need. It is fast enough to take a dull kitchen knife to a working edge in five or six pulls, yet fine enough to leave a clean, usable finish without a second stage. If your Classic has slowed down and the blade seems to glide over the rods instead of biting, this is the direct like-for-like replacement.
Every pack contains a matched pair of genuine Warthog diamond honers. Replacing both rods together keeps the sharpening angle identical on each side of the blade, which is what gives the V-Sharp its consistent, symmetrical edge.
Who this grit is for
- Everyday sharpening of chef's, utility, bread and paring knives
- Hunting, skinning and camp knives that get hard use
- Anyone replacing worn original rods and wanting the same performance as new
- Homes, restaurants, butcheries and biltong makers sharpening several knives a week
How to use it
Rest the knife heel-first in the V, draw it through toward the tip with light pressure, and repeat on alternate strokes until the edge bites paper cleanly — usually 5 to 10 pulls on a moderately dull knife. For a razor finish, follow with the 600 or 1000 grit pair.
